The idea of Third Wave Water came about like many other great ideas, over food and beer. Charles and Taylor were grabbing a bite to eat after Taylor had just installed a cold brew tap for Charles at a local office co-share. As they discussed the state of the coffee industry the topic drifted toward water quality and Taylor's new variable TDS water filtration system. Charles was looking for a way t
o help his customers obtain perfect brewing water and was even considering mailing bottled brewing water. That's when the idea of "dehydrated water" sounded possible. Taylor went to his coffee lab (typical in some professional coffee shops), created a few plastic vials of minerals using industry water standards and coffee equipment maintenance standards, sent them to Charles to try and the rest is history. Now anyone can have perfect water to brew their coffee anywhere in the world. Third Wave Water was made by coffee people for coffee people.
